Ok, I'm now the proud owner of an iPod.   Imagine my surprise after bringing home $785 in cool Apple stuff that the only thing between me and iTunes nirvana is middle age.  I've already downloaded content in iTunes in my laptop.  I've got the Altec/Lansing mobile speakers set up and in their sleek carrying case.  I'm uploading the iPod software when, it asks me for the serial number from the back of my iPod.  Whooa!  Dead stop....

Can someone please tell Steve Jobs that the rest of us baby boomers can't actually see 5 point type in white ink on a reflective silver surface?
